more koi shopping

I was pretty much set on buying Midorigoi #38 from Genki Koi. It’s a very pretty green koi now but I’m worried that as it ages, it will just turn into a weird yellow color. While I was being indecisive, there was a posting about some tosai from Sakai at Genki Koi. Sakai koi farm is in the Hiroshima area where some of my mother’s family still resides. They also happen to breed a number of champion koi. So there are fifteen tosai from theoretically good genetic stock. We decided to purchase two of them…we’ll let you know which ones we picked when they come out of quarantine and get shipped to indoor koi land in Minnesota!

About me…

I grew up in Southern California and graduated from the United States Military Academy (West Point) in 1982. I was commissioned a military intelligence officer and served with XVIII ABN Corps (Fort Bragg, NC), 82d ABN Div (Fort Bragg, NC) and 42d FA Bde (Germany). I hold a master's degree in early childhood special education and an administrative endorsement in educational supervision.

I moved to Minnesota in 2010 and married a man who happens to enjoy digging holes and constructing waterfalls. I envision that every spring and summer will be spent puttering around a koi pond. Aside from koi, I enjoy starting random hobbies (trapeze lessons, pottery, sumi-e), gardening, reading a good book, drinking tea and a thousand other things that won't fit into this text box.
